brother, many people go through some like that. but, there is nothing more sweeter than standing strong and giving up a strong desire. one only looks back and feels proud of themselves. know, that you walk in the foot steps of our beloved Prophet (sallaahu aleyhi wa salam) by leaving your beard unshaved. dont you feel proud?
in fact,
thisarticle might be of help, inshallah.
